DalathuAcorssing the River Yangon to Dala
Posted by Dalathu on May 11, 2009
Pan Soe Dan Port
To across the River, you don’t need so many minutes. Just give about ten minutes! You can start your trip to Dala.
First if you are to go to Dala from Yangon, you need to buy your ticket at the ticket counter of the Pan Soe Dan port. If you are foreigner, it will cost one US $ for one ticket.
And then, just go down on the jetty and feel the river surrounding. Breath deeply the fresh air. It is the gift for Dala’s natives. Because they can easily get the freshest air everyday acrossing the river.
RIVER SCENE
Before Nargis, there were three boats which run according to their turn. But during Nargis, one boat sank in the river so there remain just two boats now.
The names of boats are dedicated to the burmese historical heros, Anawrahta and Dabin Shwehtee. The boats have two levels. It is better to go upstair if you want to take the photo of river scene. (The sunset of river is very popular among the visitors)
Sunset of the River
On the boat, there is small cafetaria where you can relax and get some drinks. But remember you have just 10 minutes on the boat.
During that small trip, you can see a part of Dala, such as its natives’s lives, caracters, etc. And also you can see famous Dala Dockyard from the river.
When you reach to Dala port, you will feel the opposite air of urban surrounding. That is DALA.
